A common illegal activity found on the Internet. Users who have a poor credit record—for example, they may have defaulted on a credit card payment—are encouraged to pay for a service which it is claimed will restore their credit rating. Usually the perpetrators of this scam just pocket the money that is sent to them without doing anything. Often such schemes are notified to users via spam.
